Tea Time: 10 Proper Spots To Celebrate The Queen's Jubilee (PHOTOS)

There's really nothing more English than afternoon tea, and so in honor of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this June, we've rounded up some of our favorite spots to indulge -- in London and the Commonwealth.

We found scones, clotted cream and smoked salmon finger sandwiches, of course, but a few surprises as well -- from poetry tea readings to a tea inspired by the royal jewels.

The Chesterfield Mayfair -- London, England

Highlights: Greenhouse-style setting, flower teas and tea poetry readings.
Price: £28.50 for the Traditional Afternoon Tea and the Chocolate Lover's Tea.
The Chesterfield has one of the most charming tea services in London, thanks to the setting in The Conservatory, a greenhouse-style space with garden views. A number of unique tea services are offered, including a Chocolate Lover's Tea, Champagne Tea and "poetea," where live poetry about the different brews is recited. An impressive variety of teas is offered, including some unusual flower teas.
